However, Lizzie’s checks turned even redder uncontrollably, the heat spreading from her cheeks to her ears, and her heart skipped a beat. for
a moment.
Terrence’s expression remained calm and composed, as if the moment of closeness just now never happened.
He naturally leaned back a bit, tilted his body slightly, and skillfully created some distance.
The faint sense of oppression emanating from him dissipated, and Lizzie felt a bit less stressed.
She quietly loosened her scarf a bit to cool down, but then got scared he might see her face, so she pulled the scarf back.
Terrence’s deep gaze swept over her, then his cold voice rang out, “What do you want from me?”
His voice was calm as usual, nó hint of any disturbance.
Lizzie breathed a sigh of relief, her expression returning to its usual calm.
She took out a leather envelope, “This is the thank–you gift you helped me with yesterday.”
Jarred in the front row got excited at once. He thought, “It must be the technology!”
Although I don’t know where Lizzie got all these skills from, but he definitely is!

Terrence didn’t accept right away, his gaze still fixed on her.
Lizzie felt embarrassed when he looked at her, and was about to speak when Terrence spoke first, “Is this the gift?”
Lizzie was slightly taken aback, she could hear a hint of displeasure in Terrence’s tone.
Immediately, a hint of confusion quietly crept into her mind.
He shouldn’t have not known what she was preparing, that should have been pretty easy to guess.
But he was still not happy, was it because he thought her casually produced technique wasn’t good enough?
Jarred, sitting in the front row, caught a glimpse of this scene through the rearview mirror, and he was instantly as anxious as a cat on a hot tin roof.
Lizzie, a girl, how come she has the same problem as Oswaldo!
He couldn’t help but speak out, “How can you give a gift like this! It should be something that the other person truly needs, or, something they are looking forward to!”
Lizzie listened and her cheeks suddenly flushed.
She only realized later that Terrence was upset because she seemed to have given him the wrong directions.
She didn’t know what he liked specifically.
She thought he would be interested in such an important technological achievement.
Lizzie said somewhat shyly, “Well, let me treat you to a meal.”

Terrence raised an eyebrow and said, “You owe me such a big favor, and you’re just planning to treat me to a meal?”
Lizzie’s eyes widened suddenly, staring straight at him.
Didn’t she give back those important technical documents to him?
Lizzie touched her nose and swallowed the words back.
Terrence looked at her like that, the corners of his usually cold lips curled up slightly, a faint smile flickering in the depths of his eyes.
Lizzie used to have a good grasp of the technology before, then she turned around and explained it to Oswaldo.
Lizzie’s expression changed a few times, she pursed her lips, and after a moment of serious consideration, she tentatively spoke.
“So… how about I treat you to a meal today to show my gratitude?”
She paused, then added with a hint of seriousness, “I’ve noted your kindness, and I’ll find a way to repay you properly in the future.”
She had planned to do that before, but after Terrence just now rejected her gift, she wasn’t sure if he wanted her to invite him to dinner.
Terrence didn’t give her a hard time this time, he just responded straightforwardly.
“Sure.”
After reaching an agreement, the two of them got out of the car and headed towards the restaurant.
Jarred naturally followed in, pulled out the chair next to Terrence, and was about to sit down.

As soon as my butt touched the chair, a sharp, piercing gaze swept
over.
Jarred froze suddenly.
He subconsciously followed that line of sight and met Terrence’s deep, calm eyes.
That look, although without any obvious emotions, was chilling.
Jarred’s butt felt like it got burned by something, and he immediately jumped up from the chair.
Jarred thought, “What’s up with Terrence? Does he have a crush on Lizzie?”
Indeed, Terrence is not young anymore. He’s already 26. Terrence’s late brother’s kids, they can all go do their own thing now.
Terrence thought, “You sit down and order more dishes, Lizzie has to spend more money, don’t you have any sense?”
Lizzie had already picked out her menu, then she turned her head back and looked at Jarred.
Seeing him still standing, I asked in surprise, “Jarred, why aren’t you sitting?”
Jarred forced out a smile uglier than crying.
He scratched the back of his head, he didn’t understand what Terrence meant, he didn’t dare to sit, absolutely didn’t dare to sit!
